Winter is the season that almost everyone loves, and it isn’t merely because of the beautiful weather. The reason for it is that it is the season of holidays. This time of year is magically beautiful because of the twinkle lights, the holiday decorations, and the pure happiness that surrounds the atmosphere. And what better time there would be to organize an event for your loved ones?
Whether your event falls during the holidays or you’re throwing a festive bash, make sure to incorporate some fun activities that everyone can enjoy! Follow these simple event planning strategies and arrange an incredible event that will be hash-tagged and the talk of the town for months!
Plan ahead
Planning your event ahead of time will give you more than enough time to prevent last-minute rushing and the inevitable turmoil that comes with it. You will get plenty of time to plan and arrange your scavenger hunt (if you are planning any) for the event.
Don’t forget to make a list of the details ahead of time, for instance, the number of people whom you’ll invite for the event and how many of them will actually show up, what would be the menu, how will the décor be, and the most critical question: What would be the venue?
Consider yourself as a guest while writing what you want your event to be like. Write from your experience and jot down every detail on paper. Congratulation! You now have a helpful checklist on your hands!
A suitable venue
Keep in mind that the size of the venue has little to do with capacity and more with the actual layout of the venue when picking a spot to host your event. You’ll need to think about what kind of place you’ll need to manage your function. For instance, if you are throwing a cocktail party, you can easily fit more people in a place than a sitting meal. A buffet or interactive food station will need more space. Other than that, these decisions can help you decide how many people you want.
You can also take a tour of the place and discuss your ideas with an event planner; it can help you avoid selecting a less-than-ideal location for your event.
Invest your time in planning the decor
Can there be any celebration without a festive seasonal-themed décor? No, there certainly cannot! Imagine what you will want your event to be like. Don’t be afraid to try out new things. However, you are more than welcome if you want to go with classical options. For example, if you think red and gold are a festive color combination, go for it! If you want an ice silver and cobalt blue aesthetic, go for it.
Well, it’s your party, so you get to decide everything, that’s the perk of being the host! You can also set a theme for your guests; it will add to the festive atmosphere. Santa hats aren’t just for children any longer!
Plan your playlist
You can keep your playlist simple yet fun with familiar seasonal tracks, Christmas cover songs, and innovative spins on classics. If you want your guests to get moving, then you might add some downtempo songs. Make sure they are not too slow; you won’t want them to get bored. You can also add some hip-hop; after all, who doesn’t enjoy a good dancing party? Also, don’t forget to arrange for event speakers so everyone can hear the music!
Arrange a photo booth
With a customized photo booth, you can give your guests something unique which they shall remember for a long time. You can customize your photo booth with tinsels, funny glasses, s anta hats, and other festive accessories. You may also include artificial snow, twinkle lights, and classic holiday ornaments to create a festive backdrop. The crazier and colorful your event, the better!
Make sweet invites
Making event invites would give your event a personal touch. Other than it would also help you to have an accurate headcount, which is very important.
Conclusion
The best event is one in which everyone connects and enjoys. Plan everything ahead, and in the end, don’t forget it’s your event, and you are the one who should have a blast!
